A familiar face is back on the pod! I caught up with Luke Sheperd to chat about taking on The Last Five Years at Santa Cruz Shakespeare after joining us last year for Into the Woods.

And for a little extra reunion energy, Sarah joined me for this one! 🧡 We talk all about Luke’s experience with this emotional Jason Robert Brown musical and what it’s been like bringing it to the stage.

There’s no better time to get out and support local theatre! From September 10–20, Bay Area Theatre Week is bringing discounted and free ticket opportunities to theatres all across the Bay — including some incredible companies opening shows this week.

One I’m especially excited about: EUREKA DAY at City Lights Theater Company, opening September 25! 👀

Whether it’s City Lights or another theatre in your neighborhood, grab a ticket, discover a new company, and support the artists who keep Bay Area theatre thriving. 🧡

🎭 Murder, romance, and a whole lot of ambition!

💡 What happens when innovation moves faster than our ability to understand its consequences? ROI at San Francisco Playhouse is smart, unsettling, and completely captivating — unfolding with the intrigue of a great sci-fi miniseries while feeling frighteningly close to our own reality. 📈✨
